I LOVEd YOU Since 18
Eps 36 (Excuse Gie)

"Why Gie...??? Aren't you going to apologize to your Papa Iel???" Danist asked, she wanted to try to make her daughter understand, and not drag on with her anger at Ariel.

Danist held Gienka's fingers back.

"Every human being is a wrong place, and our job is also to forgive the mistakes of those who wronged us, let alone the mistakes of older people, that's very good for sure, that's very good, try to remember has your Papa Iel resisted your wishes all this time??? Or has he ever scolded you for all your mistakes?" Ask Danist again. Then he resumed his words by looking towards the bowed Gienka.

"When your Mama scolded you you always said that your Papa Iel really understood you and never scolded you? Then why are you mad at him now for the mistake he's done? It's all over and now it's all right???"

"We've told you everything, so that you understand the situation at that time, don't add to the burden of your Papa Iel's mind, he took the right time to explain and say everything so you want to understand and understand it, lest you make it sad baby...!" Elea said as she stroked Gienka's hair.

"But Ma, Papa Iel sud...!"

"Ssttt...!" Elea covered Gienka's mouth with her index finger. "Stop saying anything about your hesitation to apologize to Ariel, what else makes you doubt, Danist said that no one loves you more than the love Ariel gave you, don't remember the mistake of someone who has changed, it should not be disclosed..!"

Gienka was still speechless and thought about every utterance from her parents. It is true that Ariel has given great affection to him, and Ariel never once scolded him even though sometimes Gienka makes mistakes. Ariel always prioritizes it and does not lernah even reject his wishes.

Of all the explanations of Ariel or Elea and Danist, indeed all are related. Which means Ariel did do that and there is a phase where she regrets her actions in the past, also how Ariel apologized and ended well.

Gienka lifted her head and looked at Elea and Danist alternately with a smile. "Papa Iel does love me so much that unfortunately it seems to outweigh his own affection...!" Mumbled Elea.

"If you've understood that, then what else are you doing, dear??? Go and apologize for your attitude earlier, he will feel happy, and you will also feel calm and be able to pass your birthday well tonight... Go....!" Elea.

Gienka smiled again and hugged her parents with relief and happiness. The journey of his parents' lives was long and full of twists and thorns. They've gone a lot through the sweet acid journey of life. The crying, the laughter, the happiness and the sadness they had passed through well. Gienka himself can take the wisdom of every story that he had heard from his three parents. It is about the sincerity of love, betrayal, patience, sincerity, struggle, sorrow, tears, happiness, forgiveness and mutual love that has been passed by the three of them. Gienka draws a conclusion from it all, namely that a sincerity and love that can soften the hard heart and way of thinking someone, if run well. Things that are very difficult and look impossible can be possible.

Gienka can take a lot from the story. And he will try hard to make himself better. Wild patience is usually shown by the Mama, the struggle Mama used to when pregnant is so extraordinary. Danist love and sincerity are also able to melt the heart of Mama Gienka, Elea. Ariel's betrayal, her humiliation of Danist and how Ariel realized all her mistakes by giving all of her love to Gienka were also extraordinary. One can make mistakes, but one should also be apologized when one realizes his mistake and behaves better than ever. God alone is very forgiving then why Gienka who is just a normal human can not apologize for Ariel Papa who always poured all love to him.

Arriving in front of Ariel's workspace. Slowly Gienka opened the door and she did not find her Papa there. Until then Gienka saw a shadow on the floor that came from the front of the window at the end of the room. Ariel was standing there staring out where the backyard was. With a slow step, Gienka walked in and walked towards Ariel standing up.

"Father Iel.....!" Call Gienka. The call was a beloved call to his biological Papa since Gienka was a child, also to distinguish when calling Danist. Where Gienka also has a dear call to Danist with the call of Papa Dan.

Ariel looked back and quickly wiped away the tears that were on both of her cheeks. Ariel's smile fell on her lips. "Yes dear. ..!"

Gienka ran and immediately hugged Ariel very tightly then cried in her Papa's arms sobbing. "Papa Iel's... Forgive Gie's attitude earlier, Gie was very sorry to have behaved badly to Papa... Gie's really sorry, please forgive Gie ya Pa???" Gienka.

Ariel clutched her daughter tightly while gently rubbing Gienka's back. "Why are you apologizing, baby??? Papa is guilty, Papa abandoned you when you were still in your womb, Papa ignored you, Papa made such a big mistake, and Papa's mistake is indeed difficult for you to forgive... It should be Papa who apologizes to you for everything...!" Ariel was crying too.

"Gie should have listened to Papa's story until it was over instead of leaving the door thumping, Papa must have been very hurt by Gie's attitude, Papa, though Papa always loved Gie and gave everything Gie asked for, but Gie was angry and disappointed in Papa, forgive Gie huh???"

Ariel let go of her embrace and looked at Gienka with a smile then dyed her daughter's forehead gently also wiping away Gienka's tears. "It's okay baby, it's only natural that if you're angry, you must be disappointed to hear all that, but howoun Papa must tell you everything so that you understand and do not make mistakes like what Papa used to do...!"

Gienka smile. "Everyone has had mistakes in the past, but Papa has changed and is much different from what he used to be, Mama and Papa Dan have told me everything, how Papa used to make up for Papa's mistakes...!"

Ariel. "What...??? So you've heard everything till the end???" Exclaims.

Gienka nodded. "Yes, just now Mama and Papa Dan told me... They heard our conversation, and when I came out angry, Mama dragged me to the room and told me everything, Papa Dan and Mama also reminded me that I should not be angry with Papa, since everything had changed a long time ago, there was no longer the stubborn and angry Papa Iel...!" Gienka said while chuckling.

Ariel smiled and hugged Gienka again. She did not expect that Elea and Danist would hear everything and decided to explain to Gienka so that there would be no misunderstanding between her and her daughter. Yep, yeah, indeed, the past is so bad and if you remember it Ariel himself felt ashamed once but the past is part of the journey of life that must be passed by humans to take the positive side and throw away the bad to be better in the future. Ariel was happy that her daughter finally understood her. Gienka is his pride and his favorite. Ariel closed her eyes thanking God for all of this, and she would also seek to thank Danist and Elea later.
